Start Problem!!!! Please Help!!!
 

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 8, I LIVE IN EL SALVADOR AND I DONT HAVE WARANTY OF MY CAR,

IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAS READY TO GO, THE CAR DIDNT START, I SUPPOSED THAT IT WAS THE AFTERMART ALARM BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD A INMOBILIZER, SO I DISCONNECTED THE ALARM AND NOW THE CAR TURN ON, I TRIED TO TURNED IT OFF AND ON THE CAR AGAIN, AND I DIDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEM.

BUT TODAY IN THE MORNING, THE CAR DIDNT START.
(SEEMS LIKE WHEN I HAVE A COLD ENGINE, THE CAR DONT START) :mad:

I THINK THAT THE BATTERY DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE START PROBLEM, BECAUSE EVERYTHING TURNS ON.. THE RADIO, THE LIGHTS,.. ETC, EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE ENGINE.

WHAT CAN I DO??? I DONT HAVE A MAZDA DEALER IN MY COUNTRY!!!

I think you flooded the engine when you turned the car on and off quickly yesterday. If you didn't allow the engine to fully warm up after starting, or revving to move the extra fuel, then this is possible.

It doesn't matter if your engine is warm or cold when you start it, it should always crank. If it doesn't, something is wrong.

It could be the alternator too. How can you own an 8 without a dealership in your country? How did it get to you?

the car should still start if the alternator goes bad
try what ryan has posted in this thread that is awfully similiar to this one... hmm -_-

LOL!!! Both threads were started by the same guy!!!

if the alternator is bad it will turn on and run for only liek 45 min.'s until the battery is dead.

can you hear the engine turn over when you start it...if not then your starter is bad. if you can and nothign happens...then you may of flooded your engine. but woudl need to knwo the specifics of everythign that does or doesn't happen when you try to start your car to try and help you out.

always hard to diagnose what is going on with someones car over the internet.

He PMed me and indicated that the immobilizer light does not go out when he inserts the key. Seems like a problem with the immobilizer system or the PCM, unless it's just a dead battery or perhaps the key he is trying to use is not registered to the PCM in that car. Or maybe the aftermarket alarm he mentioned has something to do with the malfunctioning OEM immobilizer.

the engine makes no sound, i hope that the problem could be the immoblizier system, because if is the PCM im gonna have a very big big problem!!. :(
